Christian Bale and Lindsay Lohan

They may seem camera-happy when it comes to posing at red-carpet events for the paparazzi, but sometimes, celebrities lose it on the sets. Here's a look at some stars who have taken to using profanity-ridden tirades to vent their frustration when shooting for their movies.

Lindsay Lohan: The Mean Girls star, who has had quite a tumultuous personal life - what with jail sentences, probation and an ambiguous sex life -has understandably been a tabloid delight. And now comes word that she lost is on the set of the movie The Canyons, when she told her co-star James Deen to "do your f*****g job". LiLo seemed put out that the film's director, Paul Schrader, asked for a rehearsal for a kiss scene between her and Deen. When Deen fumbled for his lines, she snapped, "No, can you do it ... Please James, say your line as you're walking over ... 'cause we're doing rehearsal ... do your f*****g job." After another exchange, the director decided to call off the rehearsal, and Lohan seemed only too happy to oblige.

Christian Bale:The Dark Knight Rises star is known for his short fuse, which was famously exposed during the shoot for Termination Salvation. Bale famously unleashed an expletive-ridden tirade at director of photography Shane Hurlbut, who had made the mistake of walking into Bale's eyeline during a take on the set of the film. In the audio clip that was released, Bale was heard calling Hurlbut a pr**k, and later "a nice guy, but that don't f*****gcut it when you're f*****g around like this on set." Director McG tried to calm the actor down, but not before Bale took off, and said, "It's the second time that he doesn't give a f**k about what is going on in front of the camera, all right? I'm trying to f*****g do a scene here, and I am going, 'Why the f***k is Shane walking in there? What is he doing there?' Do you understand my mind is not in the scene if you're doing that?" Bale later apologized for the rant.

Isaiah Washington:Grey's Anatomy actor Isaiah Washington made headlines in 2006 after hurling homophobic slurs at his co-star TR Knight, during an argument with his other co-star Patrick Dempsey. Ten days later, Knight confirmed he was gay. Washington later apologized for his comments, but was fired at the end of the season. Later, Washington maintained that he was "used and exploited" and that Knight should've been the one to take the fall.

Lily Tomlin/ David O. Russell: The set of I Heart Huckabees was stormy, if reports about the conflicts between actress Lily Tomlin and director David O. Russell are anything to go by. In fact, two recordings surfaced: first, there was one of Russell laying into Lily; and next, another in which Lily said, "Leave me the f**k alone. Do you know what the f**k is going on? Period. F**k you! I've had it up to here. Who's reacting to what for God's sakes? F**k you mother f****r. Dustin Hoffman is also seen in the recording as well.
